Description of Assembly
6
The CNA1000 assembly is designed to serve as a communications
protocol converter between legacy serial communications enabled
equipment and modern IP packet data transport networks. The
CNA1000 is ideally suited for applications such as:
- Interfacing legacy custom and industry standard protocols
to an IP LAN/WAN infrastructure
- Protocol conversion between disparate field code networks
and systems
- IP access to remote control and monitoring equipment for
remote maintenance and diagnostics
- IP access to remote field equipment data acquisition and
event alarming
- Communications and Message Gateway for the rail industry I
Interoperable Transport Protocol
The CNA1000 assembly consists of a CPU module with a supporting
communications interface board mounted in a rugged metal
enclosure. The assembly can be shelf mounted or snapped onto a
DIN rail. The DIN rail mounting system makes it easy to install at
typical field code system locations. In support of the protocol
conversion functionality, the CNA1000 provides three each RS232
serial asynchronous communications ports, two RS232 synchronous
ports, an Ethernet 10/100 auto-sensing LAN port and two each
optically isolated INPUTS and OUTPUTS. The internal DC power
supply is electrically isolated to support direct operation from signaling
system battery banks.
The 10/100 Ethernet port supports communications across public or
private networks providing connectivity from the central office to the
remote field code unit, or between like locations. The IP address for
the CNA1000 may be hard-coded by the user or it can be configured
to search for a remote DHCP server. If configured to use DHCP, on
start up, the device searches for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is
available, the device automatically obtains its IP address information
from the DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found, the device shall
revert to the internal default IP addresses.
Description of Assembly
Key features of the CNA1000 include:
Five high-speed serial communications ports
10/100 auto-sensing Ethernet LAN/WAN support
Software selectable multi-protocol serial transceivers
RS232, RS449, EIA530, EIA530-A, V.35, V.36, X.21
Support for legacy serial communications protocols such as

LED Indications
Figure-8: Front Panel LED Indicators
Figure-9: Rear Panel LAN LED Indicators
Front Panel LED Indications
Front panel LED indicators provide visual indications of activity during the
power up and DHCP processes. Under default conditions, during the boot
sequence, all front panel LED indicators are illuminated. When an IP
address is assigned through either the DHCP process, the application of
the default static IP address, or the internally programmed IP address,
then all front panel LEDs go out. Following the boot-up sequence and
assignment of the IP address, the individual LED assignments shall vary
depending upon the custom application assignments. Figure-8 provides
the labeling information for the front panel LED indicators.
Rear Panel LAN Activity Indications
Two LED indicators are provided on the rear panel to provide the user an
indication of LAN activity. The LNK/ACT LED indicator is illuminated
when a physical Ethernet LAN network connection has been established
and provides a visual indication of Ethernet LAN TX & RX activity when
blinking. The FD/CL LED lights when the Ethernet connection is
100MB, is off when the Ethernet connection is 10MB, and blinks when
collisions occur.
Default Communications Settings
The CNA1000 is designed to support custom protocol conversion across
the provided communications network interfaces. The individual serial
communications ports may be configured to support legacy applications,
but some of the operating parameters are common to all applications on
the hardware platform.
Following is a list of common default features and setting for the
CNA1000 assembly.
J2-A has been assigned as a local serial diagnostics port with default
settings of 57.6kbps, 8, N, 1
Default ENET LAN settings support remote configuration and
diagnostics on UDP port 20367
Default ENET LAN settings support remote code download
(software updates) on UDP port 2000
IP address is configurable, but by default, three DHCP attempts are
made; if no response to the DHCP process, the unit then reverts to a
static, default IP address
Default Static IP Configuration
IP: 192.168.7.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.7.1
DNS: 0.0.0.0
To activate a change of IP address on the device, or if you wish to have
the unit receive a new IP address via the DHCP process, you must
reboot the assembly. The unit may be rebooted by cycling the DC
power, or by issuing a Reboot command either locally or remotely
through the provided CNACONFIG utility.

Upon startup of the CNACONFIG utility, the user is presented the
opportunity to enter an IP address of a CNA1000 unit that has been
configured and placed into service. Alternatively, the user may
Cancel or exit from the startup window and proceed directly to the
CNA Configuration Utility Main screen. As mentioned earlier, the
Default IP Address for all new CNA1000 units is 192.168.7.101. The
default address may appear in the CNACONFIG start-up window
when the application is first launched (See Figure-10).
CNACONFIG Main Screen
The main screen of the CNACONFIG utility can be divided into the
following functional and general areas of configuration:
1) File menu/command bar
2) CNA1000 ID assignments
3) Serial communications configuration
4) IP Network parameters
5) Telnet / Vterm parameters

Platform selected for operation. In Figure-11 above, the CNA1000 ID block
CNA1004” to indicate that the unit is currently provisioned to
provide a ATCS/ARES base controller. (Refer to available protocol platforms
on Page-15) When a predefined protocol conversion platform is selected, the
applicable configuration entry fields are presented to the user.
Note: Different configuration fields will be presented to the user as different
protocol platforms are selected. The following pages provide examples of
the configuration fields that are presented when selecting different protocol
platforms.
CNA1000 ID Block Common Parameters
CNA id: and the Version fields are for information only and display the
selected protocol platform and the version of hardware platform for the build
of software.
The Debug setting provides the user a method to control the type (and
amount) of diagnostic data for viewing and logging while performing
maintenance and troubleshooting.
The Debug value is entered as a Hex byte with valid entry settings from 00 to
FF. The value entered will "or" different bits in the byte to turn different
debug parameters ON/OFF depending on what data the user would like to
see, and on which Debug port to output the selected data. The Debug bit
definitions are as follows:
Local (serial port) debug on/off: 0x80
Remote (UDP to config tool) debug on/off: 0x40
Display polls: 0x20
Display raw data: 0x10
Display driver level messages: 0x08
Display application level messages: 0x04
Reserved: 0x02
Reserved: 0x01
CNA1000 ID Block Common Parameters (cont.)
Examples:
0xFF turns on all debug including raw data tracing to both the serial port
and the IP connected CNACONFIG utility.
0x54 turns on raw data and application level messages to only the IP
connected CNACONFIG utility.
0x00 turns off all debug and messaging, except for error messages, which
are always printed to the serial diagnostic port J2-A
Note: If connecting to a unit through a leased, pay-per-packet connection,
you may wish to reduce the Debug setting when not servicing the field unit.
The Password field configures the TELNET password used to login to the
CNA1000. This field is not available on CNA1000 platforms that do not
support TELNET access.
CNA1000 Network Block Common Parameters
The Network Block allows for the configuration of the Ethernet port (J5).
The IP address sets the default IP Address which is used if the Use DHCP
is unchecked or after three failed DHCP attempts are made the unit also
reverts to the IP address.
Default Static IP Configuration
IP: 192.168.7.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.7.1
DNS: 0.0.0.0
To activate a change of IP address on the device, or if you wish to have the
unit receive a new IP address via the DHCP process, you must reboot the
assembly. The unit may be rebooted by cycling the DC power, or by issuing
Reboot
CNACONFIG utility.

CNA1000 Telnet / Vterm Block Common Parameters
When the Enable TELNET box is checked, the CNA1000 will accept a telnet
session on its IP address. This allows for remote configuration, status and
debug output to be displayed.
VTERM 1 and VTERM2 baud rates allow for the configuration of the baud
rate when connecting the VTERM port to a serial device with a virtual
session. Once logged in to the telnet session on the CNA enter the
vterm 1vterm 2
through inputs and outputs to and from the serial device connected to the
CNA1000 ports are used by a given CNA platform for virtual terminal 1 and
virtual terminal 2.
CNA1000 Online Command Block
The Online block contains 5 buttons which send commands to the CNA1000
that is at the Target IP.
Read Config…Load the configuration from the current CNA1000
Write Config…Write the current configuration to the CNA1000.
Note: The CNA1000 will not accept a configuration
from a different platform. In order to get the CNA
platform of the current CNA1000, you must click “Read
Config” to first load the configuration from the CNA.
Factory Defaults…
Run mfr tests… This initiates Hardware tests performed by the
manufacturer to qualify the unit.
Reboot… Causes the CNA 1000 at the Target IP to reboot.
CNA1001 Platform Selection
When the CNA1001 protocol platform is selected, the user programmable
features are presented as shown in Figure-15 below. As previously
mentioned, the CNA1001 protocol platform is preset to provide Genysis to
HP-1 protocol conversion, configured as follows:
CNA1001 Communications Port Assignments
J2-C Genisys Serial Communication to Office CTC System
Baud Rate: User Configurable; 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600
Default = 9600 baud; 8/N/1
J4-B HP1 Field Code Unit
Clock Rate: User Configurable; 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600
Default = 9600 baud; 8/N/1
J5 LAN connection for Remote Configuration and Diagnostics; Default
parameters are applied.
Configurable Parameters
Codeline entry field allows the user to assign a four digit codeline
number. The codeline number will typically match that of the assigned
office Code Line Controller for the Centralized Train Control (CTC)
dispatcher system.
Serial baud rate configuration is available for the asynchronous Genisys
protocol connection on Port J2-C and for the HP1 connection on port J4-B.
RTS/CTS hardware flow control is user selectable only for the assigned
Genisys communications port.
In the CNA1001 protocol platform, the Network connection settings are
only applied for maintenance and diagnostic purposes. The operating
code line traffic is only presented on the assigned serial communications
ports.

CNA1003 Platform Selection
Application: Genisys over IP LAN/WAN Networks
The CNA1003 application was specifically designed to support the
connection of a railroad field code unit enabled with the serial US&S®
Genisys asynchronous communications protocol to a packet data, IP
based communications network. The CNA1003 assembly converts the
Genisys polling protocol to an Ethernet UDP/IP packet data connection to
allow for operation over a wide area network.
When the CNA1003 protocol platform is selected, the available user
programmable features are presented as shown in Figure-16. As
previously mentioned, the CNA1003 protocol platform is preset to support
the network connection of field control units using the Genisys
communications protocol to a remote CTC system over a LAN/WAN IP
packet data connection.

CNA1003 Communications Port Assignments
J2-C Genisys Serial Communications
Baud Rate: User Configurable; 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600
Default = 9600 baud; 8/N/1
J5 LAN connection to Genisys Office; Remote Configuration and
Diagnostics; Default parameters are applied initially but are
expected to be edited to match the CTC office gateway device
Configurable Parameters
Role is either in the Office or out in the Field.
Serial Baud rate for the asynchronous Genisys protocol connection
on Port J2-C and RTS/CTS hardware flow control are user selectable
for the assigned communications port.
In this application, the CNA1003 is acting as the Genisys Office and is
polling on the assigned serial communications port. As there may be
multiple Genisys field code units sharing a data circuit connection to
the office, the CNA1003 Poll Range field allows the user to define a
range of station addresses to poll. Multiple Genisys Field Code Units
may be supported on a single LAN/WAN connection to the CTC office.
In addition, the appropriate E0 byte value may be assigned in this
configuration.
Remote IP is the address to send Genisys traffic received from the
Genisys device connected to port J2-C.
